Product in Depth

From the moment it was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 1961, it was obvious that the E-type was destined to be one of the all-time great cars. For a start, it looked like nothing else, with a style and shape that led no less an authority than rival manufacturer Enzo Ferrari to declare it the most beautiful car in the world.

Your model is a 1:8-scale replica of a 1963 Series 1, which included refinements to the launch car. Making this highly detailed model is a tribute to the expert engineers who created the original E-type. The cars were virtually hand-built in Browns Lane, Coventry, utilising many parts built in-house. Influenced by racing experience, the E-type’s designers employed cutting-edge technology rarely seen on road cars at the time – including fully independent suspension and disc brakes – while Malcolm Sayer designed the car’s aerodynamic body shell using experience from the aviation industry, giving the Jaguar E-type its distinctive lines.

Where can I find the "Expert Tips" for building the wheels?

The wheel-building method used to build the spare wheel in stages 4 and 5 is a slightly simplified version of the actual spoking pattern used by Jaguar on the actual E-type. The visual differences in the finished wheels is almost imperceptible, but confident modellers who want added authenticity may wish to try the more complex 3-spoke spoking arrangement. This is demonstrated in detail in the issue 5 section of the build diaries thread on our forum, which you can find HERE.

Spal

With beautiful wire wheels, a British racing green paintjob coupled with features such as opening doors, bonnet, working suspension and lights this kit was a must have for any E-Type fan.The quality parts are a mixture of metal and plastic which not only fit great but look great whilst the large metal content in the kit also gives it a substantial weight. As this kit takes shape its turning into a beauty that will be commented on by anyone seeing it on display.
